Publishers' greed is fueled by the intense pressure on investigators to publish. I know several investigators who publish 15 to 20 papers a year, an only a few of those papers are actually worthy of publication. Several can be combined into one paper telling a complete story rather than a serial presentation. Some may be repetitive or incomplete. Very few are maliciously misleading.
